Formation and electrochemical behaviour of polyoxometalate-capped gold nanoparticles assembly electrode
2010
The functionalized gold nanoparticles capped with polyoxometalates were prepared by a simple photoreduction technique in the presence of phosphododecamolybdate (PMo 12 ) to serve as reducing reagents, photocatalysts, and stabilizers. Monolayer and multilayer structures of the negatively charged PMo 12 -capped gold nanoparticles (PMo 12 -NGs) were constructed on a polyvinylpyridine-derivatized indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) electrode through layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. The PMo 12 -NGs modified ITO electrode exhibits the characteristic electrochemical behaviour of the surface confined PMo 12 : multi-step reversible redox reactions. Excellent catalytic activity for the reduction of iodate was obtained on the modified electrode.
